Look at the figure below. What is the value of x?

Parth (parthkohli):

The is no figure below, therefore \(x = \textbf{undefined}\)

Parth (parthkohli):

These are similar triangles. \( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 6:13 = x+9:14 }\) Can yew solve it?

Parth (parthkohli):

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 13x + 117 = 84 }\) Solve now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

never mind that is wrong, i forgot about the =84 part..let me solve again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got -2.53..is that right?

OpenStudy (radar):

6:13 :: x+9:14+(x+9)

OpenStudy (radar):

6(14+(x+9)) =13(x+9) Try that and see if you obtain one of the answer options.

OpenStudy (radar):

84+6x+54 = 13x + 117

OpenStudy (radar):

-7x= -21 x=3

OpenStudy (radar):

@hellokitty357, I dont think -2.53 is correct. For one thing it is not going to be a negative value.
